1/32 Revell 1956 Cadillac Eldorado
No excuses needed Jim - fantastic job . I love it , if I saw anything like this I would snap it up . I hope you saved the box lid , classic 50s style artwork worthy of framing for the modelling room wall!- yak face

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
I know these are old toolings and been done a thousand times but they have always appealed to me so I finally gave in , they were both very reasonable prices (£ 10 and £11) . The figures will give me a bit more practice , which is going to be needed as ive also just got a couple of bigger resin... -

Tonys Italeri 1/48 Spitfire mk XVI
Decals now on . Although printed by Cartograf - usually a guarantee of a trouble free application - they were a bit of a nightmare . I dont know if they were old or what but they took absolutely ages to release from the paper and the smaller / thinner ones were prone to breaking up. I started...- yak face

FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth
Before the airframe got the second coat I remembered I had to drill out the channels for the elevator cables and make and fit the rudder actuators on the fuselage sides . I also drilled the rudder and elevators so I could fit the control horns . The aileron actuating cable and horn were added to...- yak face

FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth
Started painting yesterday . After looking at the colour of the actual aircraft , I had to mix up something . A few tries and to my eye it looks about right . I decided to brush paint , its only a tiny thing and it will save a tricky masking job , plus thats probably how the aircraft was done...- yak face

After masking off the engine and cockpit its now had a coat of primer , it will be painted up as is with the top wing going on last off . Ive yet to find a green ( in my paint stock )that matches the photos of the actual aircraft in the science museum so may have to mix something- yak face

Tonys Italeri 1/48 Spitfire mk XVI
Time for the green to go on . I know the early war spits and hurricanes were painted with rubber mat templates so had a hard edge on the camo but the later war ones look to have been sprayed freehand and have a soft edge -so blu tack at the ready . The photo I found reinforces this , also...- yak face
